After two hours of venting, eating Mexican food and two bottles of my chosen poison, I headed home slightly tipsy. My tolerance for alcohol after only five hours of sleep and twelve hours of work is not as high as it used to be. I was surprised that even though I have never gone out with these bunch outside work before, I actually had fun and wouldn't mind the same company again. The topic revolved around amusing experiences at work and our personal lives. It's nice to talk to people who know what you are talking about.
The walk was another story though. The temperature was definitely below freezing and the wind blowing in my face was like a continuous slap. I had a hoodie on and covered my nose with my scarf but I could still feel it. I felt it was getting harder and harder to breathe and walk at the same time. I even imagined that if any drunk person would run after me, I'd give up in a second. After a few blocks there was darkness - a whole block had a blackout. The stoplights were not working and there was a four-way stop between cars and pedestrians. Whether it was stupidity or not, I walked straight without so much as a thought. Thankfully everyone else was in their right mind. :S
Maybe next time I'll take the taxi. It would be unfortunate to finally feel so calm after the stress at work and find that I'm in a hospital bed afterall. :S
